At least 2 reference(s) must be provided.

- You should aim to provide 2 academic references but employer references are also accepted
- Referees can’t upload existing reference letters, they will be asked to complete a short form to provide a reference
- You should include your referees name, position and institutional email address in the relevant section of the form
- Referees will then receive an automatic email asking them to click on a link and provide their reference
- If your referee can’t find this email please ask them to check their spam/junk/promotions folder
- You can resend an invite to your referees to submit their reference by clicking on the “Resend invitation button”

A motivation letter must be added to your application.

One of the most important parts of your application is the motivation letter. Its goal is to introduce your background and support your application. In short, its goal is to answer the question:
“Why are you a suitable candidate?”

Write in a clear and logical manner: remember, the way you write and present yourself says a lot about you. Do not plagiarize as this will mean automatic disqualification from the evaluation process.

Some points that may help you answer this question:

• Why have I chosen to apply to this programme?
• What do I expect to gain from my studies?
• Why does my academic and personal background make me a suitable candidate for this programme and for Koç University (potential for success, demonstrated qualities and skills)?
• Why is Koç University a good choice for me as an individual?
